The show, of course, is filmed in Northern Ireland. Gendry lucked out of not being burned alive by Stannis at the stake, though he hasn’t been seen since.

Dempsie was spotted and photographed in the airport by an enterprising reader of behind-the-scenes fansite Watchers on the Wall, and his return to the series (if that is what the picture represents, rather than a coincidental holiday or something) is hugely significant.
A fan spotted Joe Dempsie getting off a plane at the Belfast International Airport and snapped a photo of the actor.
The night may be dark and full or terrors, but one of the longest-running jokes on “Game of Thrones” has been the notion everyone’s favorite bastard, Gendry, is still rowing that damn boat we last saw him in during season three. Sam arrived there to begin his Maester training at the Citadel at the end of season 7, while Gendry fled in a rowboat to Westeros.
If Gendry really is returning to GoT, it’s about time.
GOT fans believe Sam will study the creation of Valyrian Steel and will require a Smith.
Game of Thrones Season 6 gave viewers a collective sense of satisfaction when it killed off probably the most abhorred character in the series. “He will then go to the smith that resides in Oldtown who will be no other than Gendry”. However, the art of forging Valyrian steel was lost in the Doom of Valyria, which begs the question of why Gendry would be helpful to Sam on this front.
The Baratheon bastard lived in King’s Landing as an armorer’s apprentice during season 1 and was unaware of his true parentage until season 3. Do any of these people stand a chance against the White Walkers? Particularly now that she’s a bloodthirsty killer, that has all manner of juicy dramatic potential.

Fan: ‘Did Tohbo Mott ever teach Gendry the secrets of reworking Valyrian steel?’ Claims have also surged that Gendry, Cersi Lannister and Jon Snow would be at the crossroad of life, demise, and power. No doubt Harington is enjoying being able to act normally and interact with fans while shooting Season 7.
